Two boxes, both 14.1 64-bit (stable), burn a DVD on the laptop with K3B, read it on the laptop.
Insert on desktop (tried both drives), nuthin.
Uncommented /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab, nuthin.
No auto mount, no manual mount, nuthin.
Thing says no media found in /dev/sr0; yeah, there is media sitting in there, dammit.
OK, what did I miss here? Did I not burn the thing right (just took all the defaults and I could read it back on the laptop). The drives (both of them) do work just fine with, say, the Slackware 14.1 DVD inserted.

Well, after I did the previous post I figured, what the heck, give it a shot.
The shot worked (with the command growisofs -Z /dev/sr1 -R -J direname). Popped it out of one, into the other, automounted all by itself, life is good.
I will keep your last post, though, as it's probably better to tell it than to trust it... but, trusting it did work. This is good.
